Not a Single Penny

To the Law abiding, Tax paying, Hardworking Citizens of the United States of America, I am thrilled to announce that I have officially freed you from funding California’s disastrously overpriced, “HIGH SPEED TRAIN TO NOWHERE.” This boondoggle, led by the incompetent Governor of California, Gavin Newscum, has cost Taxpayers Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we have received NOTHING in return except Cost Overruns. The Railroad we were promised still does not exist, and never will. This project was Severely Overpriced, Overregulated, and NEVER DELIVERED. Thanks to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, not a SINGLE penny in Federal Dollars will go towards this Newscum SCAM ever again. This was an ill-conceived and unnecessary project, and a total waste of Taxpayer money — But no more!

@CaHSRA is entering the track-laying phase and actively building across 171 miles — with 50 major railway structures and 60 miles of guideway already completed.

We will be exploring all options to fight this illegal action.

Governor Newsom and California’s high speed rail boondoggle are the definition of government incompetence and possibly corruption.

The price tag has gone from $33B to $135B with no completion date in sight.

… for that much.

That’s why TODAY we’re pulling the plug on federal funding for this train to nowhere.

I won’t help Gavin Newsom waste your money!
